These methods work whether or not JAWS is active\u2014you\u2019ll rely mostly on keyboard shortcuts and Windows' built-in tools. I'll include tips to help JAWS users.\n\n---\n\n## What You\u2019re Looking For\n\n- **Device name** aka **Computer name**: What Windows calls your PC (what shows in *Settings \u2192 About*)\n- **Hostname**: Same thing, especially used in command-line and networking contexts ([techyorker.com](https://techyorker.com/how-to-find-your-computers-name-in-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Where to Find It\n\nHere are several ways to discover the device name. Pick one that you are comfortable doing with screen reader support.\n\n---\n\n### Method 1: Settings \u2192 About\n\n1. Press `Windows key` + `I` to open **Settings**.\n2. Use `Tab` (or `Caps Lock + Space`) to navigate to *System*, then move to *About*.\n3. When in **About**, JAWS will read the *Device name* under *Device specifications*. That is your PC/Laptop name.  \n   ([archoit.org](https://archoit.org/knowledgebase/finding-the-name-of-your-pc/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Method 2: Using `hostname` in Command Prompt or PowerShell\n\n1. Press `Windows key` + `R` to open the Run dialog.\n2. Type **cmd** (for Command Prompt) **or** **powershell**, then press `Enter`.\n3. In the prompt, type `hostname` and press `Enter`.\n4. The name that appears is your computer\u2019s name.  \n   ([techlasi.com](https://techlasi.com/savvy/find-your-computer-name-and-location-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n   If you\u2019re using PowerShell, you can also type:  \n   `$env:COMPUTERNAME`  \n   or  \n   `(Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem).Name`  \n   ([techlasi.com](https://techlasi.com/savvy/find-your-computer-name-and-location-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Method 3: System Properties or Control Panel\n\n1. Press `Windows key + Pause/Break` (if your laptop has the Pause/Break key). That often jumps directly to *System Properties*.  \n   ([guidingtech.com](https://www.guidingtech.com/find-the-name-of-computer-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n2. Alternatively:\n   - Press `Windows key + R`\n   - Type `sysdm.cpl`\n   - Press `Enter`\n3. In the window that opens, there\u2019s a tab or section called *Computer Name*. Your full device name is shown there.  \n   ([techlasi.com](https://techlasi.com/savvy/find-your-computer-name-and-location-on-windows/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Tips for Using JAWS\n\n- When a new windows/dialog opens, press `Insert + Tab` repeatedly to navigate between labels and fields until you hear \u201cDevice name\u201d or \u201cComputer name.\u201d  \n- On lists (e.g., device specifications), JAWS often reads the label and then the value next.  \n- If you\u2019re not sure where the focus is, use `Caps Lock + F7` to bring up the JAWS list of headings or controls. Then select one that says \u201cDevice name\u201d, \u201cComputer name\u201d, or similar.\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which version of Windows you're using (Windows 10, Windows 11, etc.), I can give you instructions tailored for that version with JAWS. Do you want me to step-by-step for your version?"
